Here Is James Corden’s Most Hated Celebrity

Here Is James Corden’s Most Hated Celebrity

It's a Bond.

Tricky one this. I've been asked to cover the celebrity whom James Corden thinks is the rudest he's ever met in his life, and the person he has singled out is somebody I like a lot.

You see, most people like James Corden, including many people at this company, while I've always found him, personally, at the very best, a very mildly entertaining host, a chuckle-once-every-10-minutes at one of his jokes kind of guy, before moving on with my life.

I used to severely dislike him, which moved to an acknowledgement that he wasn't going away, to full-blown apathy.

I've never met either him or the man he has called out for being rude, but I perceive one to be a good actor and a damn good Bond, and the other to be mildly amusing.

He says Pierce Brosnan is the rudest celebrity he's ever met.

Before I delve into the ins and outs, you need to see this scene from Taffin and appreciate that it is the greatest 14 seconds in movie history.

What is his reason for despising Irishman Pierce? Or pissing on his parade? Was it a 30-minute interview where Pierce was being an arse? Was it a Meg Ryan/Michael Parkinson-esque moment? A Clive Andreson/Beegees rift?

Nah, was it bollocks. Apparently Pierce (using his first name which is a simple technique to evoke warmer affections - note we and the media in general call bad people by their surname, people we like with the first name - in this instance employed to win an opinion piece article), pushed him around a bit at a U2 concert and didn't even deign to say hello. Take a look here.

Corden was playing a game of Spill Your Guts of Fill Your Guts on The Late Late Show with Khloe Kardashian (inspired) and, without boring you to tears as to the finer details, he had to name a famous person that was rude to him or risk a forfeit of drinking bird saliva which is ironic, because that's what he should be doing in a few years with Ant & Dec presenting if the world is actually a fair place.

He replied: "There was someone. But I don't know if we're going to try and book him on the show."

After a bit of playful teasing from whichever Kardashian it was again (standard), he blurted it out faster than a 14-year-old boy watching a Lisa Ann video.

"Pierce Brosnan. I don't think he's a rude man, he just happened to be [to me].

"I went to see U2 and I was there with my friend Louis and his wife, and my wife, and Pierce Brosnan was with some friends and they left half way through the gig to go off, and we left the space."

"And then they had been gone quite a long time and Bono was right there on this big runway in the middle of the show."

"So me and my wife moved into this area, and literally, I've never felt anything like it, this arm went on here and just pushed me out the way. And I looked at him, and he didn't even glance at me and he just moved back into his area." By this point I have a lot of time for Pierce.

After (insert whichever Kardashian) asked if he was sloshed, Corden replied:

"Maybe he's just a bit fucking rude."

Never take another man's space, especially not someone who has played the most famous fictional spy in history.

Let's decide this once and for all. Who do you prefer? Pierce Brosnan or James Corden. Fill out the poll and let us know.
